Program Description

Futsal is an exciting, fast-paced, small sided football game that is widely played across the world and is officially recognized by both USSF and FIFA. The nature of the game places a large emphasis on technical skill and ability in situations of high pressure. Futsal is a five-a-side (four + a goalie) game, normally played on a flat indoor pitch with hockey sized goals and a size four ball with a reduced bounce.

There are a number of differences to our traditional version of small sided soccer, but the dominant elements are the absence of rebound boards and amendments in the laws that encourage and foster skillful, creative play above the physical contact that tends to be a feature of small sided games. The surface, ball and rules create an emphasis on improvisation, creativity and technique as well as ball control and passing in small spaces.

Who

Players will participate in two distinct groups: 9-14 and high school. In order to participate in the high school group players must be enrolled in high school. Teams in the 9-14 range may be coed. Players born in 2003 who are in 8th grade will participate in the 9-14 division unless they choose to participate in the high school division.
